This week in Language Arts

Week of November 11

Reading

Focus Skill: Questioning

We will begin our Folktale unit.  We will identify what makes a story a folktale.  We will read several versions of Stone Soup and compare the morals of each one.  We will discuss difficult vocabulary as we read the books, so there are not any set vocabulary words this week.  We hope to make some stone soup .  I will send information about what is needed next week.

AR Logs and Reading Logs:

I will pass out the new reading logs and set new reading goals this week. They will be on green paper.  Please have your child fill out the reading log each night after they have read 20 minutes. Parents  need to  sign and date the reading log each day. 

Writing

We're using our Writer’s Notebook to create personal narratives. We will be learning how to edit as we write.

Language Skill

We will continue learning about singular and plural nouns.

Spelling

There will not be a spelling test this week.
